Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2013151961A1] Conversion assemblies enable an air/water dental syringe adapted for connection to an existing tip such as an autoclavable tip to instead receive disposable tip. A conversion kit includes a cap subassembly (402) with a cap body having a distal opening into which the disposable tip (400) is inserted, and an adapter subassembly (610) having a proximal end configured for connection to the syringe body (602) and a distal end configured for coupling to the cap subassembly (402). The adapter subassembly (610) includes one or more components with cut-outs, grooves or channels to direct air and water from the syringe body (602) to the air- carrying channels and water-carrying tube of the disposable tip (400) through the cap subassembly (402). To accommodate a wide variety of syringe styles, the adapter subassembly (610) may include a proximal receptacle to receive a stem on the syringe; a proximal stem insertable into the syringe; one or more proximal air- or water-carrying tubes insertable into the syringe; or a threaded connection to the syringe body (602).
